I have them in some Sole Red party cups to start (I'm going to be watering them from the top for now, but I have read its better to water them from the bottom, any suggestions?). Once they are above the soil I'll post some pics, Figured no one wants to look at red cups with dirt in them wondering lol. :hippy:
well, first off, make sure your cups have good drainage ... second, do NOT fertilize your young plants, until they show about 4 sets of leaves ... especially, with Ocean Forest soil ... I like OF soil, but it is pretty hot, it has killed some more fragile strains, in my own experience ...

never, ever, water cannabis from the bottom, always from the top ... cannabis requires loose, well-draining soil, it is crucial ...

24 hour, or 18/6, that will always be arguable ... personally, I use 18/6 ... I've tried about every combination, nothing seems obviously better, the 18/6 just seem 'happier' to me

do a lot of research while you're waiting ... Mandala's website has a lot of great info for growers, too ... good luck :thumbsup:
